Aarch64 Quickstart Guide

This page will help those new to aarch64 (ARMv8) get started with the Foundation Model provided by ARM. The F21-aarch64-efi tarball provides an F21-based disk image, which includes a kernel, initramfs, and device tree blob, files to support booting the kernel using EFI, and a sample script for starting the model.

Download the Foundation Model

The first step is to download the Foundation model from ARM. The model is not re-distributable and will therefore require you to create a free account with ARM. Once completed, you will be able to download the Foundation Model and begin.
